Renamed all appearances to:

"Export Selected Packet Bytes", "Packet Bytes" corresponding to "View->Show->Packet Bytes".

Should it be "selected packet bytes" or "selected packet detail data" or something such as that? You currently can't select data in the hex dump pane and save that - you can only select a tree item in the packet detail pane.

(If we do, in the future, allow you to select data in the hex dump pane and save it, presumably there'd be a "save selected packet detail data" pop-up menu item in the packet detail pane, which saves the packet detail tree item you've selected - as Olivier Biot has noted, that's a useful operation - and a "save selected packet bytes" pop-up menu item in the hex data pane, which saves the hex bytes you've selected.)

I would like to control the sensitivity of the menus, so the user can only call the dialog when he already selected some data before.

As I didn't find a way of doing this, I added a) to the dialog doing a similar job (although controlling the sensitivity would be a lot better).

Does arranging that the menu item have its sensitivity changed by "set_menus_for_selected_tree_row()" not work?
